    Hello Guys and Girls, my immediate question is about the spongy brake pedal.
    I have every service document from the mostly dealer service, and for some reason they keep changing calipers, pads and rotors, and even hoses. Spectacular amounts for no repair!!!!!
    I am just wondering if any of you out there have had similiar problem? Vehicle stops arrow straight, but I have yet to get the antilock to activate. (I just got it and hasnt rained yet here).

    My next step will be to completely flush and bleed the system, drive, then look at brake pressures. I have many more questions, but have to focus on this first. Thanks, creek/

    spongy USUALLY means brake fluid. You're on the right path to flush the brake fluid.
